MAFS’ Cam and Jules reveal the unglamorous side of parenting

“Is this normal?” - by Erin Doyle
  • 14 Oct 2020

Married At First Sight golden couple Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson were ecstatic to join the new parents club after welcoming their first son, Oliver Chase just over a week ago.

But it hasn’t taken long for them to realise not every aspect of parenting is sunshine and roses!

WATCH: Jules Robinson's hilarious baby brain confession

In a hilarious new Instagram post shared on Tuesday night, 36-year-old Cam could be seen holding up a huge bag of Oliver's nappies with a bemused facial expression as he tagged himself in “Nappyville”.

“Can someone please deny or confirm.. This is normal for the first week please?” he wrote in the caption.

Taking the parenting reality in good humour, he added: “If this is the case… Looks like we have quite the regular child on our hands. & for the record, improving everyday at the nappy change!”

Meanwhile, over on Jules’ Instagram, the 38-year-old mum appeared to be more smitten than ever with their newborn as she shared new photos of Oliver.

“Not even 24hrs in and he was it😵😂 .To be fair... I don’t mind this one haha,” she captioned the post.

Jules then added the hashtags, “#sleepfiles #hospital #catchingflies #newborn.”

Before welcoming Oliver into their family, Cam gushed about the idea of becoming a father for the first time in an interview with New Idea.

“It is something that has kept me going for a long, long time – wanting to be a father. It was certainly an aspiration,” he said.

“Not even 24hrs in and he was it," Jules captioned the sweet photos.

“You see your friends and everyone else who’s got their little ones and you see how special it is.

“I’m a cricket coach myself so I’ve been involved with kids all my life and absolutely loved it but I think to have one of your own and create a little version of you, I think there’s nothing more special to be honest.

“I look forward to the challenges, I look forward to the happiness, the tears, the emotions, all of it! And of course, raising a little family.”
